The Cash kid out of Duke seems like a really, really good football player. I have no idea what his measurables are like, but he is always making plays. Does he project as a FS or SS in the NFL? I'm also shocked by the Deon Bush stat on the fumbles. Not because he isn't a hard hitter (he obviously is), but because he only got season long starting minutes one season if I remember correctly. And he has been nicked up and not 100% for all but his Freshman campaign. The Canes won't have nearly as many players drafted in 2016 as 2015. The talent is just not there, but if he's healthy and he applies himself Deon Bush is one Cane who could push his way up that safety list, and into the first few rounds of the draft.
